Book Description
This book contains an evidence based qualitative research study, as well as articles by various authors on the Arab/Israeli conflict. As a result of this research, criteria for a 'Map for Peace' from the perspective of Israeli and Palestinian people was derived. One of the findings of the study is, that there is uncertainty _ and even some confusion _ regarding what social-interaction-roles Israelis and Palestinians would like to have when communicating with each other. These and other factors make it difficult for Israeli and Palestinian people to find common ground, and to break the cycle of violence. According to this evidence based study, Peace Building in the form of psycho-social counseling, problem-solving workshops, community work and pedagogic counseling for young persons and adults is necessary, to manifest the elusive win-win situation in this region.

Healing Israel Improving Human Rights, Social Cohesion and Education in the State of Israel and Palestine
Author: Dr. Mark O'Doherty
Publisher: Lulu.com
ISBN: 1387328018
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 278
Book Description
"I should like to make the Israeli government aware, that over 1200 Palestinian children have been killed since 2008; and over 250 children were hit with live bullets by the Israeli military since the Gaza protests began. Therefore, in the event that the future Israeli government does not show some gesture of good will of working towards a Middle East peace plan - that would be just and fair to both Israelis and Palestinians - I will advocate the policy that the EU should start expelling Israeli diplomats; just to make it clear that Israel will be held accountable for blatant violations of Child Rights! Europe also has great economic strength, and the power to impose economic and financial sanctions against Israel; just like Europe did, for example, in the conflict in Ukraine - which I also would advocate, should I deem it necessary. Hence I am expecting that the future government of Israel - whether with or without Mr Netanyahu - will show some gesture of good will of making peace with the Palestinian people!" -- Amazon.com.

Mapping Israel, Mapping Palestine
Author: Jess Bier
Publisher: MIT Press
ISBN: 0262036150
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 342
Book Description
Digital practices in social and political landscapes: Why two researchers can look at the same feature and see different things. Maps are widely believed to be objective, and data-rich computer-made maps are iconic examples of digital knowledge. It is often claimed that digital maps, and rational boundaries, can solve political conflict. But in Mapping Israel, Mapping Palestine, Jess Bier challenges the view that digital maps are universal and value-free. She examines the ways that maps are made in Palestine and Israel to show how social and political landscapes shape the practice of science and technology. How can two scientific cartographers look at the same geographic feature and see fundamentally different things? In part, Bier argues, because knowledge about the Israeli military occupation is shaped by the occupation itself. Ongoing injustices—including checkpoints, roadblocks, and summary arrests—mean that Palestinian and Israeli cartographers have different experiences of the landscape. Palestinian forms of empirical knowledge, including maps, continue to be discounted. Bier examines three representative cases of population, governance, and urban maps. She analyzes Israeli population maps from 1967 to 1995, when Palestinian areas were left blank; Palestinian state maps of the late 1990s and early 2000s, which were influenced by Israeli raids on Palestinian offices and the legacy of British colonial maps; and urban maps after the Second Intifada, which show how segregated observers produce dramatically different maps of the same area. The geographic production of knowledge, including what and who are considered scientifically legitimate, can change across space and time. Bier argues that greater attention to these changes, and to related issues of power, will open up more heterogeneous ways of engaging with the world.

The Israel Lobby and U.S. Foreign Policy
Author: John J. Mearsheimer
Publisher: Farrar, Straus and Giroux
ISBN: 1429932821
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 651
Book Description
Originally published in 2007, The Israel Lobby and U.S. Foreign Policy, by John Mearsheimer of the University of Chicago and Stephen M. Walt of Harvard's John F. Kennedy School of Government, provoked both howls of outrage and cheers of gratitude for challenging what had been a taboo issue in America: the impact of the Israel lobby on U.S. foreign policy. A work of major importance, it remains as relevant today as it was in the immediate aftermath of the Israel-Lebanon war of 2006. Mearsheimer and Walt describe in clear and bold terms the remarkable level of material and diplomatic support that the United States provides to Israel and argues that this support cannot be fully explained on either strategic or moral grounds. This exceptional relationship is due largely to the political influence of a loose coalition of individuals and organizations that actively work to shape U.S. foreign policy in a pro-Israel direction. They provocatively contend that the lobby has a far-reaching impact on America's posture throughout the Middle East―in Iraq, Iran, Lebanon, and toward the Israeli-Palestinian conflict―and the policies it has encouraged are in neither America's national interest nor Israel's long-term interest. The lobby's influence also affects America's relationship with important allies and increases dangers that all states face from global jihadist terror. The publication of The Israel Lobby and U.S. Foreign Policy led to a sea change in how the U.S-Israel relationship was discussed, and continues to be one of the most talked-about books in foreign policy.

The Palestinian-Israeli Conflict: A Very Short Introduction
Author: Martin Bunton
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0199603936
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 153
Book Description
"The conflict between Palestine and Israel is one of the most highly publicized and bitter struggles of modern times, a dangerous tinderbox always poised to set the Middle East aflame, and to draw the United States into the fire. In this volume the author illuminates the history of the problem, reducing it to its very essence. He explores the Palestinian-Israeli dispute in twenty-year segments, to highlight the historical complexity of the conflict throughout successive decades. Each chapter starts with an examination of the relationships among people and events that marked particular years as historical stepping stones in the evolution of the conflict, including the 1897 Basel Congress, the 1917 Balfour Declaration and British occupation of Palestine, and the 1947 U.N. Partition Plan and the war for Palestine. Providing an exploration of the main issues, the author explores not only the historical basis of the conflict, but also looks at how and why partition has been so difficult and how efforts to restore peace continue today"--OCLC

Alternatives in the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict
Author: Daniel Egel
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781977406484
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 188
Book Description
For decades, the two-state solution has dominated efforts to resolve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Growing doubts about the viability of the two-state solution raise the question of which, if any, possible alternatives could succeed, if appropriately supported by the international community. RAND researchers conducted 33 focus groups in the region to gather qualitative and quantitative data on the viability of five alternatives: the status quo, the two-state solution, a confederation, annexation, and a one-state solution. The focus groups, conducted in July 2018 and May 2019, collected detailed opinions of more than 270 individuals, including West Bank Palestinians, Gazan Palestinians, Israeli Jews, and Israeli Arabs. These data provide a novel means of investigating whether there are any areas of overlap between Palestinians and Israelis that might form the basis for renewed dialogue. None of the alternatives was acceptable to a majority of both Israelis and Palestinians. The two-state solution was the most politically viable alternative, although all four populations voiced skepticism toward it. The status quo was preferred by Israeli Jews but strongly disliked by Palestinians. West Bank Palestinians' preferred alternative was the two-state solution, while Gazans ranked a one-state solution slightly above the two-state solution. The data highlight the deep distrust and profound animosity of each side for the other. It is hard to imagine a departure from present trends and where they might lead unless and until strong, courageous leadership among Israelis, Palestinians, and the international community articulates a desire for a better future for all.
